Mayweather has consistently avoided the best available opposition (Great Article)

[The Gambler1981]

The sun will still come up tomorrow if you groupies admit Baldomir was a meh opponent. He doesnt enhance or worsen Floyd's legacy. You'd think even a groupie could see this.

This is what defines a groupie and why you all get so much heat. its like you are all defending the bible or god or something. funny thing is that you are EXACTLY the same as the pac.tards you hate so much

If Baldomir is just a meh fight why are you harping on him, it is just one fight that was called for by any number of boxing people.

To a purist lineal titles mean something, although it is true that men make the title not titles making the man but titles pass from weak to strong and it ended up in the right guys hands and none of the challenger have been able to wrestle it away from him who were superior to Baldomir.

Agreed. He is very similar to Doug Fisher and Scoop in that regard. There is so much bias it's funny. Below is Hauser criticizing Mayweather as usual a while ago. He says Mayweather WILL NOT fight Austin Trout, and that he should fight the winner of Trout vs. Canelo but doesn't think a Trout-Canelo fight will happen, that Mayweather should fight Sergio Martinez at a catchweight, and goes on to continue the criticism mentioning that Floyd doesn't fight as good of opponents as the earlier years in his career.

sounds like an idiot that got put in his place by Floyd fighting Canelo.

How can anyone say floyd fights weak competition after fighting canelo

Good video of Hauser.

So HBO had enough of GBP and Haymon putting on non competitive fights and thats why Floyd ended up at Showtime.

HBO is working with Haymon again for another fight.

this coming from a poster, like the TS, that claims the "best win" makes the better fighter. Maybe its time to stop using that ridiculous criteria to determine the better fighter.

Baldo would never get a floyd fight without beating zab, we know this. Once he beat zab, in 2006, that win was better than any win on Margs or Pwill's resume at the time. As such, the TS and this poster abandon the "best win" criteria.

You have a better chance of getting others to admit things when you are man enough to do same.

How does Haymon take his coffee in the morning?

Do me a favor and dont put words in my mouth. at least do that. i nver said anything about "best win". My point has always been Floyd has ATG skill but not the rsume to match. Names/form of opponents mean more to me than paper titles, rankings and crazy Giampa p4p lists. This means that groupies need to stop flexing Baldomir.

Now that you have read my take. You can adjust your post.

[dynomyte1444]

They were both beasts, massive welters, reach and height advantages, pressure fighters, great conditioning.

lets not make out Baldomir or Judah were better than these guys.

zab is better than pwill and resume wise is probably better than marg

Canelo, who struggled with Mathew Hatton

Weight drained as well.

I wonder if Floyd thinks Canelo is still unbeaten.

They were both boxing amateurs who had no clue how to use their reach/height and got out boxed on a number of occasions by lesser boxers than Mayweather.

They really aren't that much different in class than Zab and Baldomir, you want to say those guys were better OK whatever your opinion but they aren't on some different plane and they are worse than several of the guys Floyd beat.

A great piece by renowned boxing writer Thomas Hauser

Here are some snippets from the article




Was wondering when the haters would return in full force.

[Fetta]

With floyd his haters will always have a " this guy".

He can fight martinez, the lineal MW champ, and they will say titles are crap and why was he afraid of GGG.

He fights GGG and they will say why was he afraid of the true lineal champ at MW.

He fought the number 1 JMW and it should have been lara.

He will never win with the haters. The boy is the brst of this era so might as well accept it.

If Baldomir is just a meh fight why are you harping on him, it is just one fight that was called for by any number of boxing people.

Ask the Floyd groupies in this thread that pump up this fight.
